SEO is not an easy path. It comes with a brutal terrain and an extremely dynamic landscape. Those that succeed are patient, organized and most important, marketing focused.

We would like to break down SEO into various “buckets”. The more diverse your buckets the better your web marketing and SEO approach will be.

Let’s start the first area, PR.

Online Press Releases

Some might say online PR is dead, we disagree. It’s still an ingredient in the soup and it can taste quite great if done right. If it is strategic and sparingly used only to announce news worthy information it’s alright. If you do it every week letting people know you changed the color of your site, sure it’s going to suck and you’re going to hate it.

Here is a list of all the PR services you will ever need.

Article Marketing

I know what some of you are going to say, “article marketing is gone!”. Well, that might be the case but strategically written and unique content on strategic sources still can have some value. It might not be the most important ingredient in the soup but it is still an ingredient when used correctly.

Here are some you can still approach – THE RIGHT WAY!
